#1 "Hey, I know! Let's hide a bunch of stuff in a boat and sneak in under the cover of daylight. The Juice will never suspect!"
"Genius idea, Holmes! How do you do it?"

#3 Saw a Libyan rebel criticizing the US with the typical anti-US blather for LACK of involvement, while Daffy sez Sarkozy "has gone mad". The Jerusalem Post Shadow War article says the Victoria is German-owned but flying a Liberian flag, with the Israelis working primarily with the US for intel, while UANI claims it is French shipping giant CMA CGM that is reportedly involved in another illegal Iranian arms shipment:

United Against Nuclear Iran President, Ambassador Mark Wallace, issued the following statement:

Today's seizure of a CMA CGM ship, which Israel says contained weapons headed from Iran to terrorist groups in Gaza, shows exactly why CMA CGM should end its business in Iran immediately. This incident follows two other recent seizures of CMA CGM vessels headed to or from Iran in apparent violation of UN Security Council Resolutions. CMA CGM's dealings in Iran are clearly helping prop up the regime's dictatorship and arming terrorists worldwide, and they should end now.

Earlier today, Israeli forces seized the CMA CGM-charted Victoria vessel in the Mediterranean Sea and discovered a cache of weapons allegedly destined for Hamas in Gaza Strip.

On March 9, United Against Nuclear Iran first called on CMA CGM, the world's third-largest shipping company, to end its business in Iran.

Maybe the US is merely the intel go-between with some EU allies that prefer to remain in the closet? Regardless, the UN is useless.
